Problem/Motivation

As mentioned by @Gábor Hojtsy in #2273631-8: Unify config entity schemas with a base schema type → the name property of config entities used for two different purpose on different entities. 1) as a machine name. 2) As a name/label (human readable name). This become problem when try to unify this field as part of common data_type.

Proposed resolution

1. Use 'name' for one specific purpose (either machine name or label) and introduce new field where necessary.

    (Drupal 8 Multilingual Initiative) is the tag used by the multilingual initiative to mark core issues (and some contributed module issues). For versions other than Drupal 8, use the i18n (Internationalization) tag on issues which involve or affect multilingual / multinational support. That is preferred over Translation.

    Thank you for creating this issue to improve Drupal.

    We are working to decide if this task is still relevant to a currently supported version of Drupal. There hasn't been any discussion here for over 8 years which suggests that this has either been implemented or is no longer relevant. Your thoughts on this will allow a decision to be made.

    Since we need more information to move forward with this issue, the status is now Postponed (maintainer needs more info). If we don't receive additional information to help with the issue, it may be closed after three months.

    Thanks!
